Maxine + Mycal’s Maternity/Paternity Shoot – Arlington, Virginia

Okay, I hope I’m not alone in thinking that expecting dads joining their ladies in joint maternity/paternity shoots is awesome. It’s great seeing how invested these future fathers are, how excited everybody is, and how close these couples are. I’m all about gender equality and mixing up gender roles and this is a definite sign that things are trending towards cool things. I’ve known Maxine and Mycal for a long time. Maxine and I worked together at a pediatric hematology/oncology […]

Sara at Manassas National Battlefield Park

Sara is awesome in so many ways. She’s definitely one of my favorite repeat clients. She’s always peppy, puts a lot of thought and effort into her shoots, and is the sweetest girl ever. For this shoot we went to Manassas National Battlefield Park to take advantage of its beauty. There are woods, fields, streams, and great hiking and horseback riding paths throughout. It’s weird yet wonderful how a site that saw so much horror and bloodshed is now a vivacious […]

Ridaa + Hamaad + Hamza – Great Falls National Park

Family photographer mode, engage! Ridaa and Hamaad contacted me for a family portrait session with them and their son Hamza (who is awesome). They wanted to take advantage of the quickly fading autumn colors so we decided to meet and shoot at the Virginia side of Great Falls National Park. Photos were taken with my Canon 5D III and a 24-70 f/2.8LII or a 70-200 f/2.8LII. We used natural light for this shoot. Here are a few pics from our session, click for bigger! Visit […]

Anne + Patrick’s Maternity/Paternity Shoot – Arlington, Virginia

Anne and Patrick contacted me a few months ago regarding a photoshoot for their first pregnancy, which we did last week in Anne’s ninth month! I’ve known them both for ages – Anne and I worked together at a pediatric hematology/oncology clinic and they’re great people. The shoot was sort of last minute, but we pulled it off. Baby Maggie was due on Friday, we shot at Bon Air Park in Arlington, Virginia the Monday before, and I was able to […]

Jerome + Mariah – Woodbridge, Virginia

I got a phone call from Jerome a few weeks back about setting up an outdoor couple’s session for him and his girlfriend Mariah. I love natural light photography and I love doing couple’s sessions so the answer was an obvious yes. The location for the shoot was Belmont Bay in Woodbridge, Virginia. We agreed that shooting during golden hour (a.k.a. magic hour), which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset, would be best… even though it […]

Corey + Kelly’s Engagement Shoot

I’ve known Corey + Kelly for over a year now, we’re all members of the Northern Virginia Facial Hair Club, a local non-profit that raises money for charity and thinks that facial hair is cool (no beard needed to join!). They’re cool people and we were all overjoyed when they got engaged. 🙂 They asked me to be their engagement photographer, to which I totally said yes! Even better, they brought their dog Velvet along! Attached are a handful of […]

A Wandering Roll of 120

I love medium format. Film is my absolute favorite way to shoot. Photos were all made from a single roll of Ektar 100 shot with a Mamiya RB67 SD Pro. First three captures were taken in September at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, the next four at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Maryland (a really neat roadside stop, even for a heathen like me), and the last three frames were shot in December outside […]

Marisa and Geordi, Manassas National Battlefield Park

I went on a short walk at Manassas National Battlefield Park this weekend with Marisa and Geordi. The place was absolutely littered with photographers! We timed the trip nicely with the sun – there’s nothing better than natural light, especially during Autumn. All photographs were made with a Canon 5DII and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II lens at ISO400. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!

Welcoming the Fall

The weather’s changin’ and the leaves will soon follow suit. Here are a few photos taken here and there to celebrate the coming change. Click on each for the larger version! This photograph was taken at Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia, though it seems as if it could have been taken from the other side of the globe. Maymont is a 100-acre property that is open to the public and is incredibly beautiful. There are multiple personalities to the property […]
